Wherein  his  soul  abided; 
He  heard  the  Voice  within  the  shrine, 

And  followed  as  it  guided: 
He  found  no  bane  of  bitter  strife, 

But  laws  of  His  designing; 
He  quaffed  the  brimming  cup  of  Life, 

And  went  forth  unrepining.

CHRONOLOGY  OFTHOREAU'S  LIFE 
1817-1862 

The  life  of  a  scholar  seldom  abounds  with  ad 
venture.  His  fame  is  acquired  in  solitude,  and  the 
historian  who  only  views  him  at  a  distance,  must 
be  content  with  a  dry  detail  of  actions  by  which 
he  is  scarce  distinguished  from  the  rest  of  Mankind. 

GOLDSMITH. 

1817.  HENRY   DAVID    THOREAU    was 
born  in  Concord,  Massachusetts,  on  the 
twelfth   of  July. 

1818.  His  parents  moved  to  Chelms- 
ford,  and   shortly  afterward    to  Boston, 
where  he  first  attended  school. 

1823.  The  family  returned  to  Con 
cord,  where  he  was  prepared  for  college. 
"  I  was  fitted,  or  rather  made  unfit,  for 
college  at  Concord  Academy  and  else 
where,  mainly  by  myself  with  the  coun- 


HENRY    DAVID    THOREAU 

tenance    of   Phineas  Allen,  Preceptor." 
(Thoreau,  Letter  to  the  Class  Secretary.) 

1833.  Entered    Harvard    University. 
" '  One  branch  more,'  to  use  Mr.  Quin- 
cy's  words,  'and  you  had  been  turned 
by  entirely.     You  have  barely  got  in.' 
However,  'A  man's  a  man  for  a'  that.' 
I  was  in,  and  did  not  stop  to  ask  how  I 
got  there."     (Letter  to  the  Class  Secre 
tary.) 

1834.  Began    keeping   a  diary.      In 
this  year  Emerson  delivered  his  first  lec 
ture   in  Concord.     "  I   believe   I  never 
thanked  you  for  your  lectures,  one  and 
all,  which  I  heard  formerly  read  here  in 
Concord.    I  know  I  never  have.    There 
was  some   excellent  reason   each    time 
why  I  did  not ;  but  it  will  never  be  too 
late.      I  have    had    that  advantage,  at 
least,    over    you     in    my    education." 
(Thoreau,  Letter  to  Emerson,  1848). 

1835.  Between  college  terms  taught 
school  at  Canton,  near  Boston,  where  he 

10 


CHRONOLOGY    OF    HIS    LIFE 

boarded  and  also  studied  German  with 
the  Rev.  Orestes  A.  Brownson. 

1836.  "Went   to   New    York    with 
father,    peddling."       His     health    had 
failed,   and  he   was  obliged    to   absent 
himself  from  college. 

1837.  Was  graduated  at  Harvard,  in 
August.      Camped   by    Lincoln    Pond, 
with    Stearns   Wheeler.     Later,   taught 
in  the  Concord  Academy.     "Notwith 
standing  what  he  himself  says  of  his  en 
trance  to  the  college,  and  the  impression 
one  gets  from  some  of  his  biographers, 
Thoreau  maintained  a  very  fair  rank  in 
his  class,  and  at  graduation  took  part  in 
a  conference  with  Charles  Wyatt  Rice 
and   Henry  Vose  on  the   'Commercial 
Spirit  of  Modern  Times,  Considered  in 
its  Influence  on  the  Political,  Moral,  and 
Literary  Character  of  a  Nation.'  "    (Me 
morials  of  the   Class  of  1837  of  Har 
vard    University.)     What    he    himself 
says :  "  Though  bodily  I  have  been  a 
member  of  Harvard  University,  heart 


HENRY    DAVID    THOREAU 

and  soul  I  have  been  far  away  among 
the  scenes  of  my  boyhood.  Those 
hours  that  should  have  been  devoted  to 
study  have  been  spent  in  scouring  the 
woods  and  exploring  the  lakes  and 
streams  of  my  native  village.  Immured 
within  the  dark  but  classic  walls  of  a 
Stoughton  or  a  Hollis,  my  spirit  yearned 
for  the  sympathy  of  my  old  and  almost 
forgotten  friend,  Nature."  (Letter  to  the 
Class  Secretary.) 

1838.  Teaching  in  the  Concord  Acad 
emy.     On  the  eleventh  of  April  deliv 
ered   his    first    lecture   in   Concord,  on 
Society.      In  December  wrote   a  mem 
orable  essay  on  Sound  and  Silence. 

1839.  He  and  his  brother  John  made 
the  voyage  on  the  Concord  and  Merri- 
mack  rivers. 

1840.  Teaching   school   in  Concord, 
with  his  brother  John.      Wrote  his  first 
published  prose  paper,  on  Aulus  Perseus 
Flaccus.     Became  a  contributor  to  the 
Dial. 

12 


CHRONOLOGY    OF    HIS    LIFE 

1841.  Became  an  inmate  of  Emer 
son's  house,  where  he  resided   for  two 
years. 

1842.  In  February  his  brother  John 
died.     In  July  Thoreau  made  a  three 
days'  excursion  to  Wachusett.      Pub 
lished  his  essay  on  The  Natural  History 
of  Massachusetts,  in  the  Dial.     "  By  the 
middle  of    1842  the    Dial,  which  had 
never  been  prosperous  from  a  pecuniary 
point  of  view,  was  in  severe  straights, 
and  the  editorship,  having  been  resigned 
by  Margaret  Fuller,  was  undertaken  by 
Emerson  himself,  in  which  work  he  was 
largely  assisted  by  Thoreau." 

1843.  Left  Concord  to  serve  as  tutor 
in  the  family  of  Emerson's  brother,  at 
Staten  Island.     Published  his  Walk  to 
Wachusett.       Translated    The    Seven 
Against  Thebes. 

1844.  Returned  to  Concord,  where  he 
ever  after  resided. 

1845.  In    March   borrowed    Mr.  Al- 
cott's  axe,  to  build  the  shanty  at  Wal- 

13 


HENRY    DAVID    THOREAU 

den.  "The  owner  of  the  axe,  as  he 
released  his  hold  on  it,  said  that  it  was 
the  apple  of  his  eye ;  but  I  returned  it 
sharper  than  I  received  it.  ...  By  the 
middle  of  April,  for  I  made  no  haste  in 
my  work,  but  rather  made  the  most  of 
it,  my  house  was  framed  and  ready  for 
the  raising.  ...  At  length,  in  the  be 
ginning  of  May,  with  the  help  of  some 
of  my  acquaintances,  rather  to  improve 
so  good  an  occasion  for  neighborliness 
than  from  any  necessity,  I  set  up  the 
frame  of  my  house.  ...  I  began  to 
occupy  my  house  on  the  4th  of  July. 
.  My  purpose  in  going  to  Walden 
was  not  to  live  cheaply,  nor  to  live  dear 
ly  there,  but  to  transact  some  private 
business  with  the  fewest  obstacles." 

1846.  Living  at  Walden  Pond. 
Wrote  his  essay  on  Carlyle.  Arrested 
and  put  into  Concord  jail  for  refusing  to 
pay  taxes.  "  Declining  to  pay  taxes,  he 
went  cheerfully  to  jail,  and  when  his 
friend,  Mr.  Emerson,  hastened  to  the 


CHRONOLOGY    OF    HIS    LIFE 

prison  and  said  to  him,  with  amaze 
ment,  '  Henry,  why  are  you  here  ? '  the 
placid  prisoner  answered  quietly,  '  Why 
are  you  not  here  ?  '  "  (George  W.  Cur 
tis,  in  The  Easy  Chair.)  "I  have  paid 
no  poll-tax  for  six  years.  I  was  put 
into  jail  once  on  this  account,  for  one 
night;  and,  as  I  stood  considering  the 
walls  of  solid  stone,  two  or  three  feet 
thick,  the  door  of  wood  and  iron,  a  foot 
thick,  and  the  iron  grating  which  strained 
the  light,  I  could  not  help  being  struck 
with  the  foolishness  of  that  institution 
which  treated  me  as  if  I  were  mere  flesh 
and  bones  to  be  locked  up.  I  wondered 
that  it  should  have  concluded  at  length 
that  this  was  the  best  use  it  could  put 
me  to,  and  had  never  thought  to  avail 
itself  of  my  services  in  some  way.  I 
saw  that,  if  there  was  a  wall  of  stone 
between  me  and  my  townsmen,  there 
was  still  a  more  difficult  one  to  climb  or 
break  through  before  they  could  get  to 
be  as  free  as  I  was.  I  did  not  for  a  mo 
ment  feel  confined,  and  the  walls  seemed 


HENRY    DAVID    THOREAU 

to  be  a  great  waste  of  stone  and  mortar. 
I  felt  as  if  I  alone  of  all  my  townsmen 
had  paid  my  tax.  They  plainly  did  not 
know  how  to  treat  me,  but  behaved  like 
persons  who  are  underbred.  In  every 
threat  and  in  every  compliment  there 
was  a  blunder ;  for  they  thought  that  my 
chief  desire  was  to  stand  the  other  side 
that  stone  wall.  I  could  not  but  smile 
to  see  how  industriously  they  locked  the 
door  on  my  meditations,  which  followed 
them  out  again  without  let  or  hindrance, 
and  they  really  were  all  that  was  danger 
ous.  As  they  could  not  reach  me,  they 
had  resolved  to  punish  my  body ;  just 
as  boys,  if  they  cannot  come  at  some 
person  against  whom  they  have  a  spite, 
will  abuse  his  dog.  I  saw  that  the 
State  was  ha4f-witted,  that  it  was  as 
timid  as  a  lone  woman  with  her  silver 
spoons,  and  that  it  did  not  know  its 
friends  from  its  foes,  and  I  lost  all  my 
remaining  respect  for  it."  At  the  end 
of  August  Thoreau  made  his  first  visit 
to  the  Maine  woods.

CHRONOLOGY    OF    HIS    LIFE 

1847.  ^n  September  left  the  shanty  at 
Walden  Pond  to  reside  again  at  Emer 
son's  while  he  was  absent  lecturing  in 
England.  In  1847,  in  answer  to  a  cir 
cular  which  was  issued  at  the  time  for 
the  purpose  of  collecting  facts  in  the 
lives  of  the  class  during  the  first  decade 
of  our  experience  in  the  world,  he  writes 
as  follows:  "Am  not  married.  I  don't 
know  whether  mine  is  a  profession,  or  a 
trade,  or  what  not.  It  is  not  yet  learned, 
and  in  every  instance  has  been  practised 
before  being  studied.  The  mercantile 
part  of  it  was  begun  here  by  myself 
alone.  It  is  not  one,  but  legion.  I  will 
give  you  some  of  the  monster's  heads. 
I  am  a  Schoolmaster,  a  Private  Tutor, 
a  Surveyor,  a  Gardener,  a  Farmer,  a 
Painter  (I  mean  a  House  Painter),  a 
Carpenter,  a  Mason,  a  Day-laborer,  a 
Pencil-maker,  a  Glass-paper-maker,  a 
Writer,  and  sometimes  a  Poetaster.  If 
you  will  act  the  part  of  lolas,  and  apply 
a  hot  iron  to  any  of  these  heads,  I  shall 
be  greatly  obliged  to  you.  My  present 

3  17 


HENRY     DAVID    THOREAU 

employment  is  to  answer  such  orders  as 
may  be  expected  from  so  general  an  ad 
vertisement  as  the  above.  That  is,  if  I 
see  fit,  which  is  not  always  the  case,  for 
I  have  found  out  a  way  to  live  without 
what  is  commonly  called  employment, 
or  industry  attractive  or  otherwise.  In 
deed,  my  steadiest  employment,  if  such 
it  can  be  called,  is  to  keep  myself  at 
the  top  of  my  condition,  and  ready 
for  whatever  may  turn  up  in  heaven  or 
on  earth.  The  last  two  or  three  years 
I  have  lived  in  Concord  woods,  alone, 
in  a  house  built  entirely  by  myself. 
P.  S.  I  beg  that  the  class  will  not  con 
sider  me  an  object  of  charity,  and  if  any 
of  them  are  in  want  of  any  pecuniary 
assistance  and  will  make  known  their 
case  to  me,  I  will  engage  to  give  them 
some  advice  of  more  worth  than  money." 
(Letter  to  the  Class  Secretary  in  1847.) 

1848.  Still  residing  at  Emerson's. 
"Lectures  begin  to  multiply  on  my 
desk.  I  have  one  on  Friendship  which 

18 


CHRONOLOGY    OF    HIS    LIFE 

is  new,  and  the  materials  of  others.  I 
read  one  last  week  to  the  Lyceum  on 
The  Rights  and  Duties  of  the  Individ 
ual  in  Relation  to  Government,  much 
to  Mr.  Alcott's  satisfaction."  (Letter  to 
Emerson.) 

1849.  Published    A    Week    on   the 
Concord   and   Merrimack    Rivers.      In 
October   made    his    first   visit  to  Cape 
Cod.      His  essay  on  Resistance  to  Civil 
Government  published  in  ^Esthetic  Pa 
pers.     This   was    the   lecture   that  had 
given  Mr.  Alcott  such  satisfaction. 

1850.  In  June  Thoreau  made  his  sec 
ond  visit  to  Cape  Cod.     In  July  went 
to  Fire  Island  to  look  for  the  body  and 
effects    of    Margaret    Fuller,    Countess 
d'Ossoli.      In    September   started    from 
Concord    with    Ellery    Channing  for  a 
week's  sojourn  in  Canada. 

1851.  Residing  in  Concord,  and  lec 
turing.     "  I  have  been  told  by  a  man 
who  when  a  boy  heard  him  read  a  lec 
ture,  that  the  audience  did  not  know 

19 

/ 


HENRY    DAVID    THOREAU 

what  to  make  of  him.  They  came  out 
hardly  knowing  whether  they  had  been 
sold  or  not.  His  coolness,  his  para 
doxes,  his  strange  and  extreme  gospel 
of  nature,  and  evidently  his  indifference 
as  to  whether  he  pleased  them  or  not, 
were  not  in  the  line  of  the  popular  lec 
turer."  (John  Burroughs.) 

1852.  At  Concord,  and  still  in  the 
lecture  field. 

1853.  Active  in  anti-slavery  matters 
in  Concord.      Made  his  second  visit  to 
the  Maine  woods. 

1854.  Published  Walden.    Delivered 
his  address  on  Slavery  in  Massachusetts 
during  the  Anti-Slavery  Celebration  at 
Framingham. 

1855.  Received   "a   nest   of   Indian 
books"   from   his    English    friend,    Mr. 
Thomas  Cholmondeley.      "  He  busied 
himself  in  buying,  and  has  caused  to  be 
forwarded  to  me  by  Chapman,  a  royal 
gift,  in  the  shape  of  twenty-one  distinct 


20 


CHRONOLOGY    OF    HIS    LIFE 

works  (one  in  nine  volumes, — forty- 
four  in  all),  almost  exclusively  relating 
to  Hindoo  literature,  and  scarcely  one 
of  them  is  to  be  bought  in  America.  I 
am  familiar  with  many  of  them,  and 
know  how  to  prize  them.  I  send  you 
information  of  this  as  I  might  of  the 
birth  of  a  child." 

1856.  Visited    Horace    Greeley    at 
Chappaqua.      Made    the    acquaintance 
of  Walt    Whitman.      "Since    I    have 
seen  him,  I  find  I  am  not  disturbed  by 
any  brag  or  egoism  in  his  book.     He 
may  turn  out  the  least  of  a  braggart 
of  all,  having  a  right  to  be  confident. 
He  is  a  great  fellow."     (Letter  to  Mr. 
Blake.) 

1857.  Introduced    to   Captain   John 
Brown    at    Concord.      "  Travelled    the 
length  of  Cape  Cod  on  foot."     In  com 
pany  with  Edward  Hoar,  made  his  last 
visit  to  the  Maine  woods. 

1858.  Camped  with    Mr.  Blake  for 
two  nights  on  the  summit  of  Monad- 

21 


HENRY    DAVID    THOREAU 

nock.  Visited  the  White  Mountains 
with  Edward  Hoar.  Published  Chesun- 
cook. 

1859.  Death  of  his  father,  third  of 
February.  "Five  minutes  before  3 
p.  M.,  father  died.  I  have  touched 
a  body  which  was  flexible  and  warm, 
yet  tenantless  —  warmed  by  what  fire? 
I  perceive  that  we  partially  die  our 
selves,  through  sympathy,  at  the  death 
of  each  of  our  friends  and  relatives. 
Each  such  experience  is  an  assault 
on  our  vital  force.  After  long  watch 
ing  around  the  sick-bed  of  a  friend, 
we  too  partially  give  up  the  ghost  with 
him,  and  are  the  less  to  be  identified 
with  this  state  of  things."  (Journal,  Feb 
ruary  3,  1859.)  On  Sunday  evening,  the 
thirtieth  of  October,  in  the  church  ves 
try  at  Concord,  delivered  his  Plea  for 
Captain  John  Brown.  Repeated  it  in 
Tremont  Temple,  Boston,  on  the  first 
of  September,  and  again  on  the  third  at 
Worcester,  Massachusetts.  "  Before  the 

22 


CHRONOLOGY    OF    HIS    LIFE 

first  friendly  word  had  been  spoken  for 
Captain  John  Brown,  after  his  arrest,  he 
sent  notices  to  most  houses  in  Concord, 
that  he  would  speak  in  a  public  hall  on 
the  condition  and  character  of  John 
Brown  on  Sunday  evening,  and  invited 
all  people  to  come.  The  Republican 
Committee,  the  Abolitionist  Committee, 
sent  him  word  that  it  was  premature, 
and  not  advisable.  He  replied,  '  I  did 
not  send  to  you  for  advice,  but  to  an 
nounce  that  I  am  to  speak.'  The  hall 
was  filled  at  an  early  hour  by  people  of 
all  parties,  and  his  earnest  eulogy  of  the 
hero  was  heard  by  all  respectfully;  by 
many  with  a  sympathy  that  surprised 
themselves."  (Emerson's  Biographical 
Sketch.)  "  This  instant  and  unequivocal 
endorsement  of  Brown  by  Thoreau,  in 
the  face  of  the  overwhelming  public 
opinion  even  among  anti-slavery  men, 
throws  a  flood  of  light  upon  him.  It  is 
the  most  significant  act  of  his  life.  It 
clinches  him.  It  makes  the  colors  fast." 
(John  Burroughs.)  "  Lowell  says  that 
23 


HENRY     DAVID    THOREAU 

Thoreau  '  looked  with  utter  contempt 
on  the  august  drama  of  destiny,  of 
which  his  country  was  the  scene,  and 
on  which  the  curtain  had  already  risen'; 
but  was  it  Thoreau,  or  Lowell,  who 
found  a  voice  when  the  curtain  fell, 
after  the  first  act  of  that  drama,  upon 
the  scaffold  of  John  Brown «  "  (T.  W. 
Higginson.) 

1860.  Went  with  Ellery   Channing 
for   a    five   days'  visit   to  Monadnock. 
This  was  the  last  excursion  in  which 
Thoreau  camped  out.    In  November  he 
took  the  cold   that  was  the  beginning 
of  his  fatal  illness. 

1861.  Made  a  journey  to  Minnesota 
with   Horace  Mann,  Jr.     Returned   to 
Concord  only  to  put  his  house  in  order. 
Spent  his  strength  in  revising  his  manu 
scripts,  assisted  by  his  sister  Sophia.

health.     I  suppose  that  I  have  not  many

12°,  pp.  1-413.  Excepting  the  title-page, 
this  edition  is  exactly  similar  to  the  first.  The  ex

Inlander,  a  monthly  published  by  the  undergradu 
ates  of  the  University  of  Michigan.  The  article 
is  republished  here  in  order  to  demonstrate  that 
bibliography  is  not  necessarily  an  arid  pursuit. 

An  Afternoon  in  the  University  Library. 

"  I  am  the  'most  thumbed  book  '  in  this  library, 
as  Willis  said  to  Walter  Savage  Landor  about  the 
Imaginary  Conversations." 

I  looked  around  in  surprise,  for  I  was  certain  of 
being  the  only  person  in  the  alcoves  that  sultry 
afternoon. 

"Nor  has  any  book  a  more  romantic  history." 

I  jumped  to  my  feet  and  sought  the  speaker. 

"  The  manuscript  of  me  lay  neglected  in  the 
desks  of  caitiff  publishers ;  it  was  despised  and  re 
jected  when  read  by  their  *  tasters ' ;  dealt  out  at 
last  piecemeal  in  a  dog's  meat-tart  of  a  journal  ; 
pirated  into  a  book  by  a  Yankee  admirer — the 
more  's  the  wonder;  and  two  years  later  printed 
at  home  on  the  '  half  profits  '  plan,  which  I  com-

untarily  added,  "  Carlyle  !  "  Was  ever  the  like  ? 
Right  by  my  side,  on  an  alcove  shelf,  was  a  well- 
worn  copy  of  Sartor  Resartus,  and,  as  I  am  a  living 
man,  talking. . 

"  You  may  be  the  '  most  thumbed  book  '  in  this 
library.  What  of  that?  More  people  eat  pota 
toes  than  pates  dc  foie  gras,  I  am  not  *  thumbed.' 
I  find  audience  fit  though  few.  I  claim,  how 
ever,  a  more  romantic  history  than  yours.  I  am 
one  of  a  thousand  copies.  The  first  of  us  to  leave 
the  publisher's  shop  was  sent  as  a  present  to  one  of 
the  gentlest  souls  that  ever  brake  the  bread  of 
friendship.  It  went  to  Worcester,  Massachu 
setts.  After  some  time,  seventy-four  more  of  us 
were  given  away.  In  the  course  of  four  years  two 
hundred  and  nineteen  of  us  were  slowly  sold  over 
the  counter.  We  were  often  looked  at,  and  as 
often  put  down"  again  with  a  disgusted  *  Humph  ! ' 
At  the  beginning  of  our  third  year  of  existence 
the  remaining  seven  hundred  and  six  of  us  were 
piled  up  in  the  publisher's  cellar.  We  were  tied 
up  in  close  packages  of  fifty,  and  had  we  not  been 
immortal  we  had  smothered.  After  two  weary 
years  in  that  abode,  we  were  taken  forth  and  sent

by  express  to  Concord,  Massachusetts.  There  we 
were  received  by  a  rustic-looking  man  who  had  the 
serenest  face  I  ever  saw,  and  he  handled  us  with 
more  tenderness  than  any  that  had  yet  touched  us. 
On  his  own  back  he  carried  us,  parcel  after  parcel, 
up  to  the  garret  of  his  father's  house  ;  and  when  he 
had  piled  us  compactly  he  wiped  the  sweat  from 
his  brow,  and  then  surveyed  us  with  a  look  of  quiet 
cheerfulness.  I  happened  to  be  at  the  top  corner 
of  the  package  I  was  in,  and,  the  paper  having 
been  torn  during  our  journey,  1  could  easily  look 
over  his  shoulder  when,  all  at  once,  he  sat  down  at 
a  plain  pine  desk  and  wrote  in  a  book : 

"  'For  a  year  or  two  past  my  publisher,  falsely 
so  called,  has  been  writing  from  time  to  time  to 
ask  what  disposition  should  be  made  of  the  copies 
of  A  Week  on  the  Concord  and  Merrimack  Riv 
ers  still  on  hand,  and  at  last  suggesting  that  he  had 
use  for  the  room  they  occupied  in  his  cellar.  So 
I  had  them  all  sent  to  me  here,  and  they  have  ar 
rived  to-day  by  express,  filling  the  man's  wagon,— 
seven  hundred  and  six  copies  out  of  an  edition  of 
one  thousand,  which  I  bought  of  Munroe  four 
years  ago  and  have  ever  since  been  paying  for,  and 
have  not  quite  paid  for  yet.  The  wares  are  sent 
to  me  at  last,  and  I  have  an  opportunity  to  exam 
ine  my  purchase.  They  are  something  more  sub 
stantial  than  fame,  as  my  back  knows,  which  has 
borne  them  up  two  flights  of  stairs  to  a  place  quite 
similar  to  that  to  which  they  trace  their  origin.

WORKS 

Of  the  remaining  two  hundred  ninety  and  odd, 
seventy-five  were  given  away,  the  rest  sold.  I  now 
have  a  library  of  nearly  nine  hundred  volumes, 
over  seven  hundred  of  which  I  wrote  myself.  Is 
it  not  well  that  the  author  should  behold  the  fruits 
of  his  labors?  My  works  are  piled  up  in  my  cham 
ber  half  as  high  as  my  head  —  my  opera  omnia. 
This  is  authorship.  These  are  the  work  of  my 
brain.  There  was  just  one  piece  of  good  luck  in 
the  venture.  The  unbound  copies  were  tied  up 
by  the  printer  four  years  ago  in  stout  paper  wrap 
pers,  and  inscribed,  <CH.  D.  Thoreau,  Concord 
River.  50  cops."  So  Munroe  had  only  to  cross 
out  "River"  and  write  "Mass.,"  and  deliver 
them  to  the  expressman  at  once.  I  can  see  now 
what  I  write  for,  the  result  of  my  labors.  Never 
theless,  in  spite  of  this  result,  sitting  beside  the  in 
ert  mass  of  my  works,  I  take  up  my  pen  to-night  to 
record  what  thought  or  experience  I  have  had 
with  as  much  satisfaction  as  ever.  Indeed,  I  be 
lieve  that  the  result  is  more  inspiring  and  better  for 
me  than  if  a  thousand  had  bought  my  wares.  It 
affects  my  privacy  less  and  leaves  me  freer.'  J 

"  Day  after  day,  for  nine  long  years,  we  lay  in 
that  garret,  and  night  after  night  I  saw  that  man 
writing  in  his  book  at  the  desk.  But  of  late  he 
coughed  a  great  deal,  and  night  by  night  I  saw  that 
he  wrote  less.  I  often  caught  a  look  of  deep  longing 
in  his  eyes  when  he  peered  out  of  the  garret  win-

dow  on  the  distant  fields ;  but  he  did  not  seem  sad, 
and  I  never  heard  from  him  a  single  sigh  nor  one 
repining  word.  One  day  a  solemn  hymn  floated 
through  the  window  on  the  wings  of  a  May  breeze 
to  our  resting-place,  and  then  it  ceased  ;  and  never 
more  did  I  see  that  serene  man  writing  at  the  pine 
desk.  Some  months  later  we  were  transported  from 
that  garret  to  the  bindery  of  Ticknor  &  Fields, 
and  thence  to  the  Old  Corner  Bookstore,  each  of 
us  having  on  a  new  jacket  and  wearing  a  new  title- 
page.  The  latter  purported  that  each  of  us  was 
published  by  Ticknor  &  Fields,  Boston,  1862, 
when  the  actual  truth  is  that  we  were  at  that  date 
just  fourteen  years  old  —  no  sucklings,  I  assure  you. 
But  I  laughed ;  for,  you  see,  the  binder  had  not  be 
thought  him  to  tear  out  a  back  leaf  which  an 
nounced  to  the  reader  that  '  Walden,  or  Life  in 
the  Woods,  will  soon  be  published.'  Why,  bless 
you,  that  identical  book  had  been  published  by 
Ticknor  &  Fields  nine  years  before!  I  am  an 
editio  princeps,  despite  my  lying  title-page ;  I  was 
born  in  my  author's  brain,  and  I  was  borne  on  his 
back  when  I,  too,  was  '  despised  and  rejected.'  " 

"An'  do  ye  say  that  when  ye  cam'  flouted  back 
into  yon  garret  your  maker  received  ye  as  cheerily 
an'  bravely  as  ye  tell  ?  " 

"Even  as  I  said,"  was  the  reply. 

"  Then  I  tak'  back  every  vaporin'  word  o'  mine, 
and  will  sit  at  your  feet  as  long  as  books  are  read.'*

"  I  beg  your  pardon,  Mr.  Philliber,  but  it 's  time 
to  close  the  library."  It  was  the  good  librarian, 
and  as  he  caught  me  napping  when  I  should  have 
been  reading  I  told  him  what  I  had  dreamed. 

To  be  sure,  the  dream  was  a  book-lover's  fan 
tasy,  but  it  was  also  the  simple  truth.  Every  copy 
of  the  1862  edition  of  Thoreau's  Week  is  a  first 
edition.  The  seven  hundred  and  five  copies  of  the 
unbound  sheets  —  Thoreau  had  sold  one  copy- 
were  bought  from  the  family  by  James  T.  Fields 
and  sold  with  the  new  title-page  within  five  years 
from  the  date  of  Thoreau's  death.  Then  a  new  edi 
tion,  from  fresh  type,  was  issued,  the  plates  of  which 
did  service  until  the  publishing  of  the  Riverside 
edition  in  1893.

This  edition  introduces  two  errors  into  the  text 
that  have  ever  since  been  reproduced.  Thoreau 
wrote,  "There  is  need  of  a  physician  who  shall 
minister  to  both  soul  and  body  at  once,  that  is  to 
man.  Now  he  falls  between  two  stools."  (Edition 
princeps,  p.  271.)  In  this  edition,  p.  273,  the  text 
reads,  "Now  he  falls  between  two  souls."  In  the 
original  edition,  p.  412,  Thoreau  has,  "It  were 
vain  for  me  to  endeavor  to  interpret  the  Silence." 
In  this  edition,  p.  414,  it  is  printed,  "  It  were  vain 
for  me  to  endeavor  to  interrupt  the  Silence."
